RITEK HAD one of the coolest things on show at CES, a hybridBD-R and HD-DVD-R. That was the best, but by no means the only innovative thingit was showing off.
The disc is a burnable Blu-Ray on one side and a burnable HD-DVD on theother. If you are making high def content and want to avoid the format wars,this is a good way to distribute media. They are not out yet, but will be in thenot so distant future.
Ritek also has 2x speed dual layer HD-DVD discs out now, and around late Q1or early Q2 should have HD-DVD-RW dual layer discs in mass production. They wereshowing them off at CES, but are not ready for production.
Another cool one they had was a HD-DVD-R and DVD-R-DL combo disc. This oneis immensely useful for distribution of video content, you don't have to worrywhich format the user has, just give them high- and low-def on the same littleslice of Lexan.
Ritek also has BD-Rs up to 4x speeds and HD-DVD-Rs up to 2x now, so if youwant speed, this outfit can supply the media. As you can see, if you want exoticformats, they can supply them too, no need to take sides in the format war, justdo both.
